So, I am a Basic who worked for two agencies in the past, but one that I worked for is having issues related to response times. As a result, that agency has gone through two directors while I worked there, latest only being an EMR, which goes all over me, but I digress. The director sent me a "Warning letter" that basically accused me of dereliction of duty in the small volunteer service, and I had enough. I turned in my pager and radio almost immediately. Thing is, that leaves this service down to only two Basics and one Medic for coverage, and I feel terrible, because I considered these three men friends, and I am not the kind of guy that abandons friends easily, but I don't recognize an EMR as EMS director-- not by a long shot, and am certainly not going to put up with being essentially trapped if the other service, which happens to be my primary agency, needed me for transfer duty. My primary agency is a combination fire/EMS agency with full-time paid staff, but that shouldn't matter. What matters is my Director at my primary agency has advised me that the small volunteer agency is just circling the drain and that my quitting was the right call, but I hate the idea of trapping my friends at home. I am thinking about speaking with both Basics and letting them know why I left and that it had nothing to do with them to kind of clear the air and maybe keep my foot in the door. What say you? Any advice is welcome.
